Product details
Overview
MK10DN64VLH5 from NXP Semiconductors is a 50 MHz Arm® Cortex®-M4 microcontroller with DSP extension, 64 KB program flash, 16 KB RAM, and 16-bit SAR ADC, designed for industrial control and motor drive applications requiring real-time processing, low-power operation, and integrated analog peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the MK10DN64VLH5 datasheet, MK10DN64VLH5 pinout, MK10DN64VLH5 application, or MK10DN64VLH5 equivalent, key selection considerations include its -40 to 105°C temperature range, 1.71–3.6 V supply voltage, FlexRAM-free flash-only memory configuration, LQFP-64 package, and support for UART/I²C/SPI/I²S/TSI interfaces in a single-chip solution.
Technical Context
The MK10DN64VLH5 implements an Arm Cortex-M4 core with DSP instructions and operates at up to 50 MHz, supported by a multi-purpose clock generator with 3–32 MHz crystal oscillator and 32 kHz RTC oscillator. Its system architecture integrates a 4-channel DMA controller, low-leakage wakeup unit, and hardware CRC module for deterministic real-time execution and data integrity.
Peripherals include eight-channel PWM timer, two quadrature decoder timers, real-time clock, programmable delay block, carrier modulator transmitter, and analog subsystem comprising 16-bit SAR ADC, two analog comparators with 6-bit DACs, and voltage reference - all operating within the same 1.71–3.6 V supply domain and qualified for extended temperature operation.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MK10DX64VLH5 | Includes 4 KB FlexNVM and 2 KB FlexRAM; identical core, peripherals, and package | Required when EEPROM-like nonvolatile data logging or secure key storage is needed | Select MK10DX64VLH5 only if FlexMemory features are actively used; otherwise MK10DN64VLH5 reduces cost and complexity |
| KL27Z128VLH4 | Lower 48 MHz Cortex-M0+ core, 128 KB flash, no DSP, reduced peripheral set (no I²S, fewer UARTs) | Suitable for simpler sensor hubs or BLE gateway controllers where DSP or motor control is not required | Choose KL27Z128VLH4 for cost-sensitive, low-compute applications; avoid when 50 MHz M4 performance or I²S audio interface is mandatory |
Compared with MK10DX64VLH5, MK10DN64VLH5 removes FlexMemory to lower unit cost and simplify qualification, while retaining identical real-time capability and analog integration; compared with KL27Z128VLH4, it delivers 1.25× higher Dhrystone MIPS/MHz and full motor-control peripheral suite at the expense of higher active power and larger code footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MK10DN64VLH5?
The MK10DN64VLH5 operates at a maximum system and core clock frequency of 50 MHz, as specified in the K10 Sub-Family datasheet Rev. 5. This is achieved using the internal MCG in FEI or PBE modes with appropriate crystal or external clock sources. The MK10DN64VLH5 does not support frequencies above 50 MHz, and exceeding this limit violates operating behavior specifications.
Does the MK10DN64VLH5 include FlexMemory (FlexNVM/FlexRAM)?
No, the MK10DN64VLH5 does not include FlexMemory. Its part number suffix "N" explicitly denotes program flash-only configuration, distinguishing it from "X" variants like MK10DX64VLH5 which integrate 4 KB FlexNVM and 2 KB FlexRAM. All MK10DN64VLH5 units ship with 64 KB of main flash and 16 KB of SRAM only.
What is the operating temperature range for the MK10DN64VLH5?
The MK10DN64VLH5 is rated for an ambient operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C, as confirmed by the "V" suffix in its part number and verified in Section 4.4 of the K10 Sub-Family datasheet. This rating applies to all electrical characteristics and low-power modes, including VLLS0 operation with POR detect enabled.
Which communication interfaces are supported by the MK10DN64VLH5?
The MK10DN64VLH5 supports SPI, I²C, three UART modules, and I²S - all documented in Section 6.8 of the K10 Sub-Family datasheet. It does not include CAN or USB peripherals. Interface pin assignments are multiplexed across PORTA–PORTE and require proper configuration of SIM_SCGC registers and port control registers (PCR) to enable desired functions.
Is the MK10DN64VLH5 pin-compatible with other K10 family members in LQFP-64 package?
Yes, the MK10DN64VLH5 shares identical pinout and package dimensions (64-pin LQFP, 10 mm × 10 mm) with other LH-suffix K10 devices including MK10DX64VLH5, MK10DN128VLH5, and MK10DX128VLH5. Signal mapping follows the K10 Signal Multiplexing table in Section 8.1 of the datasheet, enabling direct PCB reuse across these variants when peripheral usage aligns.
